Landlord roof survey in Wallend, Medway
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Wallend, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wallend
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and flashings that have come away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Wallend, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
For a price for landlord roof surveys in Wallend, ring 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us give you an accurate price.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Wallend can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Why get it checked now?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wallend can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Wallend
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sheerness-On-Sea station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Wallend?
Yes, Wallend is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Places near Wallend
What else we do in Wallend
Wallend homes and their roofs
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Wallend, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St James Church of England Primary Academy, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Sheerness-On-Sea station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
